Gutsy G++

PropheticAngel

I am trying to install G++ on my gutsy installation, but whenever I try, it tells me to insert the disc and press enter.

I don't have the disc readily available anywhere and I don't want to burn another copy, is there a way to install G++ without the hassle of re-burning the image?

Edit /etc/apt/sources.list

Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal

Code:

gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

and place a # in front of the first line, cdrom, to comment it out. Save it and run

Code:

sudo aptitude update
sudo aptitude install build-essential
gcc -v

Frak

Goto System->Administration->Software Sources, uncheck "CD-ROM Gutsy", and try again, but doing

Code:

sudo aptitude install build-essential

instead
